How to roll a purple aesthetic planet?

Post by Lucky0000 »

This is a bit of an odd request, but does anyone know how to roll a planet with purple vegetation? I was rolling the unclassified planet class a bunch of times to run some tests and I stumbled upon this beautiful planet with purple vegetation. It looked really ailien and interesting. Now I can't for the life of me recreate it, and I don't even know what parameters to look for. Can anyone help?

It depends on the amount of heavy metals in the atmosphere, look for high concentrations of Argon/Xeon

While you're probably right, that does not seem to be the only conditions. I have tried rolling those bio's on multiple planets now, both cold and warm, and no one of them had that purple vegetation.

In my recent single player I got it. I think it was the Desert World with Water.

Edit: I am also using the mroyer terrain mod.

Its complicated... but... having alien flora that uses a non-water based solvent will help. Also having a red Sun will help.

Best wishes,

Were you starting with an "Orange-Red K5 type star" for this ? This has me looking into more interesting planets than I've been playing.. thanks!

Yes on the orange/red K5 star combined with a dry planet with some water, I have found it's pretty easy to get it.
